Infodemic Versus Viral Information Spread: Key Differences and Open Challenges
While acknowledging this complexity, in this paper, we focus on one specific dimension of the infodemic phenomenon: the quantification of information production. By narrowing our analysis to this aspect, we aim to clarify how excess information during an infodemic differs from a general viral information spread.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been accompanied by an “infodemic,” characterized by the rapid spread of misinformation and disinformation, significantly undermining public health efforts [1]. Misinformation refers to the unintentional spread of incorrect or misleading information [2], while disinformation involves deliberately disseminating false information to deceive [3].

During the COVID-19 pandemic, public health organizations worldwide experienced difficulties with the “infodemic” of misinformation on social media [17]. Before the pandemic, researchers had recognized the importance of management of misinformation and studied countermeasures [18-21]. However, the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the inexperience of public health agencies in dealing with the influence of misinformation during an emergency [22,23].

Transformer-Based Tool for Automated Fact-Checking of Online Health Information: Development Study
The importance of trustworthy online health information became particularly clear during the COVID-19 pandemic, which triggered a new crisis known as the COVID-19 infodemic. An infodemic refers to the excessive spread of false or misleading information across both digital and physical spaces [9] causing confusion and detrimental outcomes, as it underscores the potential risks posed by inaccurate or deceptive information to individuals [3,10].

To combat this infodemic, the World Health Organization established a repository of COVID-19 fact-checking groups that verify COVID-19 claims [14].
We hypothesized that the circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic (ie, lack of evidence-based medicine, overly stressed health care system, and health care providers) may have magnified the potential for social media to have influenced the care of patients affected by COVID-19.

Responding to the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic has been made even more challenging by an extraordinary infodemic, defined as an overabundance of information, including credible and false or misleading information, during a disease outbreak [1].

The Dual Nature of AI in Information Dissemination: Ethical Considerations
In the contemporary digital landscape, we find ourselves in an “infodemic,” a phenomenon characterized by the rapid proliferation of information, both accurate and misleading, facilitated by rapid communication through social media and online platforms [1]. The term “infodemic” originated during the SARS outbreak [2] and gained prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic. It has been used in the context of public health emergencies and in relation to health information, but it extends beyond that.

The infodemic accompanying the pandemic exemplifies how misleading health information on social media platforms can contribute to fear, unfounded concerns, and poor health behaviors among the general population [9,12]. In addition to providing a platform for the dissemination of potentially harmful misinformation, social media can also perpetuate stereotypes and biases against individuals with obesity, further exacerbating the negative impacts of this condition [7].

With the quantity and speed of information rapidly growing, it is challenging for the public to distinguish the true health information and misinformation, which leads to the emergence of an infodemic [15,16]. The lessons we learned from the COVID-19 pandemic revealed the importance of infodemic prevention and control [17].

Ethical Considerations in Infodemic Management: Systematic Scoping Review
Recognizing the global urgency of integrating ethics into infodemic management and social listening practices, the WHO established the expert group (EG) on ethical considerations in infodemic management and social listening in 2023 [29].
